Wool’s characteristics<\/h2>\n

Considered a luxury fiber, wool is a material of animal origin made up of keratin fibers.<\/p>\n

Here are some characteristics of this natural fabric.<\/p>\n

Biodegradable<\/h6>\n

Wool breaks down naturally in the soil over a few years, slowly releasing its nutrients into the soil.<\/p>\n

Renewable<\/h6>\n

Sheep produce new fleece each year, making wool a completely sustainable and renewable fiber.<\/p>\n

100% natural<\/h6>\n

Wool is 100% natural and produced all year round by animals living on a simple mixture of water, air, sun (sometimes), and grass.<\/p>\n

Naturally breathable<\/h6>\n

One of the most breathable fibers, wool is capable of absorbing moisture in large quantities and letting it evaporate.<\/p>\n

Temperate<\/h6>\n

Unlike synthetic materials, wool is an active natural fiber that reacts to changes in body temperature. Wool is highly moisture absorbent, ideal for active wear, for example as it traps up to 80% air in its own volume. In fact, thanks to the honeycomb structure of its microscopic fibers which create small air pockets, it is an excellent insulator. This allows you to stay warm when the weather is cold and keep cool when it is hot.<\/p>\n

Waterproof<\/h6>\n

Within the fiber, it naturally contains keratin which allows waterproofing.<\/p>\n

Anti-odor<\/h6>\n

Unlike synthetic materials, wool can absorb moisture to help wick away perspiration. Wool even absorbs the odor molecules in sweat and wicks them away when the garment is washed.<\/p>\n

Naturally elastic<\/h6>\n

Its natural elasticity allows woolen garments to stretch and then regain their original shape.<\/p>\n

Anti-stains<\/h6>\n

Merino wool fibers have a natural protective layer that prevents stains. And because merino wool generally doesn’t create static electricity, it accumulates less dust.<\/p>\n

Wool is the most reused and recycled fiber<\/h6>\n

Wool is one of the most sought-after recycled textiles as it can be transformed into new sustainable products, such as clothing, mattresses and upholstery.<\/p>\n

Non-flammable<\/h6>\n

The inherent chemical structure of wool makes it naturally non-flammable, which is why this natural fiber is widely favored in public spaces. It never melts and does not stick to the skin like many synthetic materials.<\/p>\n

Sun protection<\/h6>\n

Compared to other fibers, wool offers excellent protection against the sun’s rays. Being a natural fiber that has evolved over millions of years to protect sheep from the elements, it absorbs UV rays to protect from the sun. It is thus an excellent choice for many outdoor activities.<\/p>\n

Comfortable<\/h6>\n

Wool is one of the weakest generators of static electricity, and studies have shown that our heart rate is steadier when in contact with wool than with synthetic fibers (Hohenstein Research Institute, 1984).<\/p>\n

Purifier<\/h6>\n

Because of its molecular structure, wool has the ability to neutralize harmful substances like formaldehyde. Similar to plants, wool allows to purify the air.
\n(DWI study by Gabrielle Wortmann, 1999)<\/p>\n

Subtle colors<\/h6>\n

It is very easily impregnated with dye, which allows a rich variation of colors which do not fade with washing.<\/p>\n

Our opinion<\/h6>\n

For all these reasons, we prefer wool to synthetic fibers.<\/p>\n
